By spectra

hi all,
i'm new here in QL, i've been here in qatar for about 2.5 years.
i work in one of the biggest companies in qatar and in a very good position where i don't have to go back to a manager, sure we all know what that means.
i'm single and i'm 26 years old.
i never felt of home sickness and don't want to loose the pleasure being single.
what do u suggest from an experience?

Spectra,

I have always heard there is a thin line between love and hate. Both take a lot of passion.

Don't get married until you are ready, its not fair to you, or the girl you are with.

usually most relations start from two people who used to hate each other or dislike each other and by time they fall in love and many got married, we have a say that says; after every big fight there is a strong friendship.

do u agree me?

why do u think so?

I know - been married 29 years now, but I laugh at the way it came about because I felt a bit like the Canadian Mountie who, according to Urban Myth, 'always got his man' (in the end). But I'm so glad I did :D

Marrige is a wonderful thing but only if you're with the person you want to be with, That person has to be someone you trust,some one you love & of course that person has to be your friend. Im very luck in that respect the person i trusted was my best friend who then became my lover & is now my husband 10yrs on & 3kids later i don't think i would have had it any other way.

I know it is not easy to go against the family if they are pushing you for a marriage.But it is your life and your desicion.So,do what your heart is telling you and it will be the right thing.

Good luck to you.

My first marriage wasn't my choice and I wasn't ready for it, despite being very fond of (loving?) the chap I married. I should really have followed my basic instinct because I knew I felt more for someone else (even though the 'someone else' didn't seem to feel the same way back) and that meant my heart wasn't fully in tune with what I was about to do, but I went along with it and left after only 3 years of marriage.

The only good thing which came of that sorry situation is that I WAS happy for those 3 years, my ex-husband and I are still 'fond' of each other, and the one I felt more for eventually came back to me and I'm now married to him.

But for heavens sake! What a long and winding path to achieve happiness, with family upsets along the way which wouldn't have occurred had I NOT given in to my family in the first place!

Stick to your guns, spectra, do your own thing until you and your heart are ready for more.

Ah yes society and family pressure. Gotta love it!

Ask urself do u want to live the life u want or the life ur parents want? Some people choose careers their parents want, or get married to people their parents choose. And sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't. What do u want? It's a risk either way, but make sure that u will not be regretting ur decision 10 years later. Think about it.

We have a saying "Marry in haste and repent at leasure", enjoy your life and do the ehings you want to do for yourself first. When you think you have done all of those things then think about getting married otherwise you will have itchy feet all your life.

then don't get married if u don't want to.

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

Don't marry if you don't want to. That's my suggestion.

if you marry before you are ready and don't love someone, then don't. Do what is right for you.

just get to know the QL group and you'll find people you can talk to, get together with socially but with no pressure about anything. Keep posting and you'll find the homesickness gets better or at least lessens over time. Keep yourself busy doing whatever you enjoy and keep posting!!
